Metronet slash prices

MetroNet have announced substantial price reductions on their PAYG 'S'
series broadband packages to bring them in line with the standard PAYG packages.
The 'S' connections have a lower contention rate of 20:1 compared with 50:1 for
the standard PAYG connections, and have come in for the reduction in the monthly cost.
For example, the 2Mbps PAYGoS2000 service which had previously cost £47 for a
20GB usage allowance has been reduced to £27.99, and now the usage allowance has
been increased to a massive 150GB per month. Although extra transfer is
available, priced at £0.235 per MB, until a maximum monthly cost cap has been reached (£99.99 on the PAYGoS2000), but
150GB should be more than ample for the vast majority of users.
Heavy users may note that there is no Fair Usage Policy or peak/off-peak
usage restrictions.
"Up to now 20:1 services have been sold by ISPs primarily as
Office or Business grade products with 50:1 services predominant for
home users. We don't see the need to differentiate this any longer
as home users have equally valid uses for enhanced Broadband
services as any business."
"Something we are sure to see other ISPs realise soon. In removing
this unnecessary discrimination we're opening up a previously
out-of-reach product set to all types of users and without a need to
dictate how they use their Broadband." |
